SUFFRAGETTE'S TIME IS UP

Chch: Today a country is in mourning for a woman who was a pioneer among her peers but also for women throughout the world. On July 13, 1934 Kate Malcolm Sheppard pasted away in her home in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Sheppard lead the campaign in New Zealand to get women the right to vote. This was not an easy campaign for her personally as she was timid by nature but she was able to overcome this to ensure that the word was spread to the people of New Zealand. Sheppard spent a lot of time on the road traveling from town to town to give women the courage to fight the cause. Kate shared the message of other suffragette movements in England an United States of America.

The suffragette movement in New Zealand was the first to achieve their objective and get women the equal rights to vote. This happened in 1893. Kate Sheppard may have passed but the legend that she has left will be remembered throughout time as a major achievement for all women.
